I'm wondering @bwarbiany if you or anyone else has any thoughts on this?  How would you feel about it as an employee if you were a smoker or overweight or both?
I don't mind it, in theory, for things that are purely "behavioral", such as smoking. But I worry in practice that it will have a lot of unintended consequences, and potentially be a slippery slope to other things.

Regarding the "obesity", obviously I have my own issue with that if it's purely based on BMI, which is not applicable to everyone. And for a lot of people, weight is not simply behavioral anyway.

In general the less my employer is doing to control my behavior outside the workplace, the better. But we have a system that through historical accident led to employer-based health insurance, so they have an incentive to try to do whatever they can to reduce costs. 

I've said before that I favor the Swiss system. If we're basically going to have a level of socialized medicine (and we do, with the mandate and the subsidies), the least we can do is do socialized medicine right. The Swiss system is about as well designed as their watches.

I was a member of No Such Agency.  My step son in law is a graduate of the CIA.  Really.

As I've said, Sweden was interesting in how non-foreign it felt. The Swedes speak better English than most Americans...

The wife has a good friend who lives there.  I've met her and am on FB with her, we chat from time to time.

We were going after our cruise for 4-5-6 days.  I really was interested in seeing it, maybe next year.

School started today for the high schooler. Middle schooler has two more weeks of twisting the knife in his sister's back every chance he gets.

Online school already looks different than it did last spring. I sure hope it's better.

The 11 year old started today. He's in the autism-specific class, so with the exception of me making sure he participated in his PE portion, it was pretty useless. I got a workout during PE class though lol ;-) 

The 8 yo and 13 yo start next Monday.

Yeah, California.

That's remote learning BTW. None of the kids are going to be back in-person until Orange County gets off Newsom's "watch list", and given the recent wild pack of Karens we had here in Orange County... Well I'm guessing it might be a while...
